Hi Mayer,
Thanks very much for your response! I didn't know joe was this super
flexible.
Note that >> mode,"o" << no longer works (in 3.7), it has to be replaced by
>> mode,"rdonly",rtn <<. It would be nice to get this updated in the
default config file.
I figured out I didn't want to automatically run p4 every time I start
modifying a file, I prefer to have the explicit ^T O key sequence do the
magic. I implemented this by defining some macros, namely:
:def makerw if,"joe(sys,\"joe-rwro rw
\",name,rtn)",then,mode,"rdonly",rtn,else,msg,"FAILED: \"joe-rwro rw
",name,"\"",rtn,endif
:def makero if,"joe(sys,\"joe-rwro ro
\",name,rtn)",then,mode,"rdonly",rtn,else,msg,"FAILED: \"joe-rwro ro
",name,"\"",rtn,endif
:def togglerwro if,"rdonly",then,makerw,else,makero,endif
and then changed ^T O's behavior under ":defmenu root" from
mode,"rdonly",rtn O Read only %Zrdonly%
to
togglerwro O Read only %Zrdonly%
and finally wrote a joe-rwro script that takes either "rw" or "ro" as the
new desired mode as its first arg, and the filename as the second. The
script checks if the file is under a p4 client, and if it is, it executes
"p4 edit" or "p4 revert -a" on the filename.
Thanks very much again, this will save me lot of time and make my work more
convenient! :-)
